Mourning My void is dying and I’m sad

Post image

Just that. She’s fifteen, has cancer, I’ve had her for thirteen years and I’m devastated. I wanted to share her with everyone, as she’s brought me so much joy and I’m going to miss her terribly. I started palliative care this week, and she just took a turn for the worse. Her name is Mortimer. It’s cheesy, but she’s my best friend.

It’s a few year old, but that’s my favorite picture of her.

My void is 4. She’s my best friend. I’m extremely guilty of mourning her and my other cat even though they’re so young because I don’t know that I can handle going through that sort of thing again when the time comes. I’m so sorry you have to go through this and I’m so sorry you have to feel this pain but I’m so happy that you got to experience her life and having her in your life.
